Agape

To love unconditionally
Would be the dream that occurs often
To be apart from you
Is the most painful
To leave here
Would you hurt as I would?

To know that I would be gone
Would you want to know?
Would you even care?
In my troubled mind, you wouldn’t
In my foolish heart, you would

How would you run for me?
With all your strength
Or with all your love?
One would fatigue you
And one would push you to astounding lengths

To know that I, would be gone
To look for me in the crowd
And to know I’m not there
Would you be displeased
Or would you ache for my face?

When you hear that song
That haunting meter, that forlorn timbre
Do you long for the past
Or does your eyes blur with tears?
All this, I would do, and still do
Because of you.
